Patent number: 10820774Abstract: A wet-cleaning appliance, in particular a wet mop, has a cleaning roller, which is mounted in a rotatable manner about a roller axis, and a roller cover, which encloses the cleaning roller in the circumferential direction, at least in part, and has at least one displaceable covering element for optionally closing and/or releasing an opening region of the roller cover. In order to create a wet-cleaning appliance which, as far as the user is concerned, can be transferred in a particularly convenient and reliable manner from mopping operation to regeneration operation, the displaceable covering element should be coupled to the cleaning roller by a gear mechanism, in particular a toothed gear mechanism, such that the cleaning roller can be displaced by virtue of the covering element being displaced or the covering element can be displaced by virtue of the cleaning roller being displaced.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Vorwerk & Co. Interholding GmbHInventor: Bernd Lindenbeck

Patent number: 10758102Abstract: A wet-cleaning appliance, in particular a wet mop, has a cleaning roller, which can be rotated about a roller axis, and having a wetting device for applying a liquid to the cleaning roller. In order to provide for regeneration of the cleaning roller with the best possible result, it is proposed that the wet-cleaning appliance should have a wiper device, in particular a wiper lip, which can be displaced onto the cleaning roller and is intended for assisting in removing liquid and/or dirt from the cleaning roller and/or for assisting in applying liquid to the cleaning roller.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Vorwerk & Co.

Patent number: 8135352Abstract: A remote monitoring system for telecommunication enclosures includes a low profile or flush mounted sealed transceiver or antenna unit, an electronic module inside of the enclosure electrically connected to the transceiver and a communication device to send signals to the electronic module through the transceiver. The sealed housing generally comprises a portion extending through the exterior surface of the enclosure. In some embodiments, the transceiver may include a radio frequency antenna, a photoelectric cell, a light sensor or an infrared sensor, and the communication device may be a handheld device, a transponder, or a networked computer.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2007Date of Patent: March 13, 2012Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Ronald L. Langsweirdt, Herbert Anders, Bernd Lindenbeck, Bernhard Schneider, Joerg Hahn, Marian Starosta, Manuel Steinbrink, Manfred Stieglitz

Patent number: 7943868Abstract: A sealed housing (10) accommodates at least one electric or electronic component (12, 14), and has a portion (20) extending through the mounting surface, as well as a rotation preventor (16, 28) preventing rotation of the housing (10) relative to the mounting surface. A kit of parts includes at least one such housing (10) and at least one spacer (18). A combination of the housing or kit of parts and a door, preferably of a cabinet or an installation room, or a cabinet in the field of telecommunications having the mounting surface is described. A use of a friction enhancing element, preferably an O-ring, for mounting a housing to a mounting surface in a non-rotatable manner is also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2007Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Herbert Anders, Bernd Lindenbeck
